I really enjoyed this book! It is written for young people, but like all good children's stories there's more to it than surface reading so adults can get something from it too. I thought it was a great story about the power of hope, love, and family. I even found it a powerful metaphor of the nature of the United States' militaristic and capitalistic sadism that lives off of what is loss and grief for others.
